"Entwined with the historical facts of the era, The Captive Queen: A Novel of Mary Stuart, is the notable debut from historical fiction author Danny Saunders. Writing in a genre that often leans towards the trite and predictable, Saunders clearly has a passion for historical accuracy as he nimbly weaves fact and fiction into a lively, literary tapestry. You might think that there could be nothing more to say on the subject of Mary, Queen of Scots and yet, Saunders finds a way to bring those harrowing historical events of Tudor England to life with a refreshingly original perspective. His protagonist Charlotte Gray may well be a figment of his imagination, but she is a compelling character and the one to which many readers will be most drawn. Through her, Saunders offers a front row seat to events that shaped the history of England and Scotland, and by the end of his book she seems to transcend the dictates of fiction alone.

An accomplished debut from an author with a bright future, The Captive Queen is a mesmerising tale of Elizabethan England which is sure to find favour amongst fans of historical fiction. It is recommended without reservation."
